Prolong Your Shampoo. Most people only need to wash their hair every other day. Not only does this save on shampoo, but it also keeps your hair healthier since overwashing can dry it out. Also, always purchase shampoo and conditioner in the largest size possible – it tends to be the most cost efficient.

Lather Yourself for Less. Choose bar soap instead of body wash” they”re less expensive, last forever and create less waste, so you”ll be environmentally friendly using it.

Make a Bedtime Braid. Braiding your hair before you go to bed is a great breakage preventer, and it also works when you”re exercising or growing out bangs.

Never Skimp on the Sunscreen. The first beauty product you should apply daily is sunscreen, even if it”s cloudy or rainy outside. Sunscreen will help you keep your gorgeous skin longer into 50″s, 60″s and 70″s.

Less Always is More. Ever notice how some of your girlfriends may look their best with no makeup at all? No matter how old you are, too much makeup can make you look worse. If you wearing the contents of makeup bag everyday, then you”re overdoing it and it can cause even more breakouts. Tone it down with a great mascara, concealer for blemishes and tinted gloss.
